Say hello to the Portrait Booth.
Unlimited portrait‑quality photos—with real time sharing. A professional portrait studio in a case.
- Ships to your door
- Set up in about ten minutes
- No attendant hovering
- Photos on your phone instantly
The photo is on their phone before they are back at the table.
Step in, it flashes, and it is already sent — to the group chat, to whoever could not make it, to their mom. You plug the booth in at the start of the night and it looks after itself from there. Which is why people keep getting back in, usually with somebody they have dragged over.
One portrait, big enough to settle it
A single portrait out of the booth, shown large. Shot in a genuinely bad room — dark, or lit orange — and untouched. Warm skin, clean whites, no color cast. Shoot this one first: it is the picture the other three frames are delivering and showing, and it has to be the same picture in all of them.
Must prove: The claim the whole product rests on, and the only frame on the site whose job is to be beautiful on its own. It used to answer a sentence about bad light that is no longer on the page — it now anchors the cluster instead, and the light argument is made two beats down where it belongs.
Needed for launchTheir photo, in their hand, seconds later
Held phone, filmed over the shoulder. The home-portrait frame is already on screen, the booth soft behind it and close enough to read as the same room. The motion is a hand holding a phone and a pinch to zoom — not a walk, not a reveal.
Must prove: That the delivery is real and immediate, at the exact moment the headline claims it. A still of a phone proves a screenshot; the hand moving proves it just happened.
Needed for launchThe text landing, photo attached
Screen recording, cropped square. A message arrives carrying the portrait, and it loads. A real device and a real notification — it is worthless the moment it looks designed. No phone number and no real name in frame.
Must prove: The mechanism behind the whole beat: photos arrive by text, on the phone they already have, with no app and no printer. It is the one frame that shows the product doing something rather than people enjoying it.
Needed for launchBack in, and this time with somebody
Two people step out of the booth looking at a phone, turn, and pull a third person in with them. One continuous take from a fixed camera a few feet back. Nobody is directed and nobody looks at the lens.
Must prove: The last line of the paragraph — people keep getting back in, usually with somebody they have dragged over. That is a claim about behaviour, and this is the only kind of evidence for it: it has to be caught, not staged, or it proves the opposite.
Wanted soonBright, true color. Straight out of the booth, every time.
Studio strobes, not a flash on a camera.
So the room it is standing in stops mattering — a dark bar and a bright marquee produce the same picture.
Skin looks like skin
Venues are lit orange, or purple, or by whatever the DJ is doing. The booth brings its own light, so color is the same in every frame regardless of the room it is standing in.
Studio lighting, not a flash
A flash on the front of a camera is why booth photos look like people got caught. This is lit the way a portrait studio lights a portrait.
No filters, no cleanup
What your guests see on the screen is what came out of the booth. Nothing is warmed up afterwards to hide how it was lit.
A pile of guests, late
Guests crowding into one frame near the end of the night. Too many people for the space, everyone laughing at that fact.
Must prove: A wedding buyer sees their own guest list, not a styled couple.
Needed for launchWeddings
Photos of everyone you love, laughing. Not just the two of you, and not just the one night.
See weddingsColleagues, mid-laugh, wrap visible
Two or three colleagues at an offsite, caught mid-laugh, with a branded wrap clearly in frame.
Must prove: A corporate buyer sees both halves of what they are buying at once: people who look willing, and their brand on the machine.
Needed for launchCorporate
Internal events, conferences and trade shows. Culture you can see, and photos people are glad to share.
See corporateWhat you’ll actually notice
- Shipped to your doorstep. It arrives in a case before your event and goes home with a label that was already in the box. No van to meet, and no picking from whoever happens to drive to your venue.
- Nobody hovering. No attendant in the corner who doesn’t fit your vibe. People get sillier when a stranger isn’t watching them, which is exactly why they use it more.
- Yours for the whole weekend. Almost nobody uses a booth properly the first time they walk past it — they come back an hour later with two people and an idea. Every day after the first is half price.
We ran events for years. Then we built the booth we kept wishing existed.
Portrait Booth comes from the team behind Mammoth, which produces 300+ events a year. We watched too many booths get packed up right before the moment that mattered—so we built one that ships in a case, runs itself, and stays as long as you do.
Us, working
A real Mammoth event mid-build. Crew, cases, cable, the scale of the operation. Nobody posed and nobody looking at the camera.
Must prove: We came out of events rather than out of software. This is authority, so it has to look like labour and not like a boardroom.
Wanted soonYour part is three steps. One of them is opening a box.
Book it online
Pick your dates, see the exact price—shipping included—and book it in about two minutes.
Set it up in ten minutes
Open the case, plug it in, start shooting. We’ll show you exactly how before it arrives.
Send it back
Repack it in the same case and stick on the label that came in the box. We book the carrier pickup.
The shipping in between is ours, both ways. See all five steps
Ten minutes, start to finish, by someone who has never seen it before.
We film it unedited and send it before the booth ships, so the first time you do it isn’t the first time you’ve seen it done.
The setup, unedited
The full ten-minute setup in real time, unedited, filmed with someone who has never touched the booth. Their hesitation stays in. One continuous take, no cuts, no music, no voiceover.
Must prove: That ten minutes is a real number and not a marketing one. A cut in this film destroys its entire value, because the cut is where a viewer assumes the hard part was.
Needed for launchGet your photos instantly.
Walk up, press the button, and see the portrait before you have stepped away. No queue being managed by a stranger, no shot list, and nobody standing over it.
Scan the code
It is on the screen with your portrait, so the photo is on your phone before you have walked back to your table.
Text it to yourself
Type your number at the booth and it arrives.
Email it
Same thing, if that is where you keep pictures.
Nobody collects addresses, nobody waits for a gallery link the next day, and guests never make an account to see a photograph of themselves.
Walk up, tap, done
One guest approaching the booth, tapping the screen, the countdown, then the portrait on screen — and the SCAN, phone held up to the code, photo landing. Short loop, no cuts, no captions. The scan is the whole point of the frame: it is the half nobody believes until they see it.
Must prove: What actually happens, which the site currently asks people to imagine — and how the portrait reaches them, which is the first question anyone asks. No longer blocked: scan the code on screen, or send it by text or email.
Needed for launchThe brand is new. The people running it are not.
Portrait Booth is a 2026 company. It comes out of Mammoth, which has been producing events since 2012, in rooms exactly like yours.

No logos of companies that aren’t clients.
In their words.
Portrait Booth started taking bookings in 2026. As people use it, what they say goes here with their name and their event attached.
A wedding weekend — rehearsal dinner through brunch
A multi-day conference
A company that books it more than once
The room, with the booth in it
A room mid-event, wide enough to feel like standing in it, with the booth working somewhere in the frame rather than centred in it.
Must prove: Scale and context, once, with no copy on top of it. The photograph is the argument at this point on the page.
Wanted soonSimple and honest pricing. No hidden costs.
$2,500 for a day, half that for every day after. Shipping is calculated to your address before you pay and tax is on the same screen — there is no line you meet later. If your dates don’t work we say why, and show you the ones that do.
